What you did

what they said

in whispered tones

kept racing through my head

empty room

lit cigarettes

turning white knuckles red

you're coming home

you think you're clear

but I hear you shut the door

your story's straight

but you're breathing fast

and you give yourself away

what you did

what you said

that's the moment, now it's dead

will never be the same,

won't ever be the same,

the same again

at my door

I hear the bell

but can't look you in the eye

sleep alone

the tv flashes on and on and on

I let you in

I see your face

but my patience fades away

I shut you out

when you wanted in

now there's nothing left to say

you can take me down

but you can't take it back

you can take your time

but it won't bring you back here

you can take my word

but you can't take my world
